My Aconcagua expedition Jan 2014

Spending long periods in a blast freezer is a great way to acclimatise to temperatures below minus 40 degees.

With the kind assistance from industry experts AM Seafoods and CRS Cold Storage I was able to get real experience of the unbelievable freezing temperatures...going down beyond minus 60 degrees. I was also able to put my clothing and gear to the test. I would like to thank Adapt Outdoors in Liverpool for kitting me out with the very best gear...giving me a selection of high performance kit from Rab and Mammut to test in extreme temperatures.
